CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF LATVIAN COLEOPTERA. 7. - Latvijas Entomologs , 46: 47-58. Abstract: This paper contains information on 25 new (i.e. not included in Telnov 2004 and later faunal publications on Latvian fauna) and 102 little known and protected beetle species in Latvia, collected between 2003 and 2008. The material is stored in collectors’ collections. Key words: Coleoptera, Latvia, fauna, little-known species.

Carabids, conservation, dispersal, forests, habitat fragmentation, habitat heterogeneity, metapopulations, species richness, generalists, specialists Abstract. I review the effects of habitat fragmentation on carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and examine whether the taxon could be used as an indicator of fragmentation. Related to this, I study the conservation needs of carabids. The reviewed studies showed that habitat fragmentation affects carabid assemblages. Many species that require habitat types found in interiors of frag­ ments are threatened by fragmentation. On the other hand, the species composition of small fragments of habitat (up to a few hec­ tares) is often altered by species invading from the surroundings. Recommendations for mitigating these adverse effects include maintenance of large habitat patches and connections between them. Furthermore, landscape homogenisation should be avoided by maintaining heterogeneity ofhabitat types. It appears that at least in the Northern Hemisphere there is enough data about carabids for them to be fruitfully used to signal changes in land use practices. Many carabid species have been classified as threatened. Mainte­ nance of the red-listed carabids in the landscape requires species-specific or assemblage-specific measures. INTRODUCTION HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND CARABID ASSEMBLAGES Destruction and fragmentation of habitats, overkill, introduction of alien species, and cascading effects of Effects of fragmentation on carabid assemblages species extinctions have been labelled the “evil quartet”, Habitat fragmentation is the partitioning of a con­ i.e.

It is open with few trees, and the vegetation is dominated by dwarf-shrubs growing on nutrient-poor soils. Dry heaths with Heather Calluna vulgaris and wet heaths with Bell Heather Erica tetralix are common vegetation communities in the heathland, and they often form mosaics. The heathland landscape is highly threatened, with large substantial areal losses of 95% in Sweden since the 1800s. Heathland supports around 200 red-listed species, including plants, insects, birds and reptiles.

Among them 8 species are new for the Kampinos National Park. The occurrence of 8 species previously mentioned in literature was confirmed. Only Anisoxya fuscula, although known from literature, was not confirmed. One species: Phloiotrya subtilis have been recorded from the Mazovian Lowland for the first time. A current knowledge is most probably not exhaustive and further research could enrich the list. Keywords: Melandryidae, Phloiotrya subtilis, Kampinos National Park, faunistic data, new records, Masovian Lowland 1. INTRODUCTION Melandryidae is a worldwide beetle family which includes 60 genera and 420 species (Konvička 2016). According to Kubisz & al. (2014) only 27 species occur in Poland, however ( Received 16 August 2018; Accepted 01 September 2018; Date of Publication 02 September 2018 ) World Scientific News 109 (2018) 103-114 authors incorrectly excluded Phloiotrya subtilis from Polish fauna. Most of Melandyidae representatives are xylomycetophagous and saproxylic strongly related with various trees and fungi species (Kubisz & al.

ZooKeys 121: 1–494. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.121.732 Abstract This paper presents the first complete and updated list of all 3597 species of beetles (Insecta: Coleop- tera) belonging to 92 families found and published in Lithuania until 2011, with comments also pro- vided on the main systematic and nomenclatural changes since the last monograic treatment (Pileckis and Monsevičius 1995, 1997). The introductory section provides a general overview of the main features of territory of the Lithuania, the origins and formation of the beetle fauna and their conservation, the faunistic investigations in Lithuania to date revealing the most important stages of the faunistic research process with reference to the most prominent scientists, an overview of their work, and their contribution to Lithuanian coleopteran faunal research. Species recorded in Lithuania by some authors without reliable evidence and requiring further confir- mation with new data are presented in a separate list, consisting of 183 species.
